Timothy31979...
The way I see it... you have two problems...
1. You are looking for a woman with honor... that's insane... look for a freaky one.
2. At 6'9", you have to be smiling all the time or the girls will think that you are going to kill and eat them.
Remember those two things and your life will change...
And when you find a freaky one, you'll be smiling all the time... see it just keeps getting easier.
I think this is the best advice I have received in the forums thus far. Except, maybe a honorable/freaky woman, because I don't want her being freaky with everyone else as well..... | |

I'm 5'11 and I happen to love men who are from 5'4 to 5'6 I find shorter men absolutely sexy
sorry but you are going against the laws of the universe and must be destroyed
I am not... I am attracted to shorter men, sorry... I grew up around extremely tall men my whole life and always felt so short compared to them, even though I am the tallest woman in my family, and typically the tallest in social groups... I do not like being the "inferior" in height person, so I opted for shorter males.. I found I genuinely like them much better. I have been with tall men, and I truly do not like them... My ex husband was 6'7, our divorce was for other reasons, but I really didn't like the astethics of our pairing... He was just too damn tall... Not to mention most short men I have been with are GREAT in bed, god damn they are great! And tall men, well, they also have the ability to become quite heavy, in some cases, sorry I do not like fat men... Yeah I'm plus-size but I dooo not like other chubby men, sorry too much fat in one bed...
I also do not want my children to be taller than me... It could happen, but I would like to know there is a possibility of it not happening, so I usually date men who have dominant features and who are shorter, their family members are shorter, and the offspring of other family members are shorter as well... I just like shorter men... Although short women sort of scare the shit out of me lol... Sorry they just do... I told my best friend that once, she is 4'9 and she looked up at me and said, wtf, and you've been my friend for how long and you are afraid of me... Damnit, you are the giant!
I loved it! HAHAHAHA short people are so cute and funny lol... midgets are adorable too hahahahahahahah

This assumes that the "biggest, tallest, strongest male around" (It still seems strange to include "tall" in that list) is able to dominate everything. He cannot....without the permission of others. Humans are social animals and bullies are roundly opposed.
Nobody ever cheers for Goliath.
However...I wonder if your right about female psychology. Maybe they feel that they are powerful if they are able to attract a man whom they perceive as powerful? i don't know.

Posted: 10/24/2007 7:26:42 PM | Wellllll...I think it comes down to feeling secure..I'm 6' tall and have been with guys an inch shorter than me..or the same height as me. I wouldn't feel comfortable being with a guy who I feel bigger than, and I don't think that's shallow..I prefer to look eye to eye with my man or look up a bit, not yell down to my ankles and hope he hears me!!

Posted: 10/24/2007 7:27:35 PM | I think what it boils down to is social roles. Men are to be the masculine strong ones and women are the kind motherly ones. I hate comparing humans to animals but look at other species, in most cases the males are larger, bigger and more dominant (although not always the case).
When a women is taller then a man and she can look down at him is emasculates him. This in general goes against the social roles we play everyday. Some girls may be comfortable with it, but obviously in general most are not. Hense the old saying
I want someone tall, dark and handsome. | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 7:33:58 PM | Who said anything about bullying...
It's not the big guys that bully... it usually the short guys.
Big guys don't need to bully to make up for a shortage, and most of us have big feet. (Ever seen a big guy with size 9 shoes?... they just don't come that way)
Now... here is the secret:
Nothing is as strong as true gentleness...
Nothing is as gentle as true strength.
So while all you shortys are being all macho trying to be like us big guys, we can chill... treat them better, and end up with all the girls.
Once they go tall... they never go back.
And that's a fact,
Jack. | |

Where do you get this? It's stereotypes like this that I suspect is the foundation of the problem. Here is the actual research: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6501633.stm
"Short men 'not more aggressive': The theory that short men end up as more aggressive than taller ones has been dismissed by a scientific study."
Big guys don't need to bully to make up for a shortage, and most of us have big feet.
"us"? You're not tall.
Nothing is as strong as true gentleness...
Nothing is as gentle as true strength.
And this relates to height how?
So while all you shortys are being all macho trying to be like us big guys
uummmm. "all you shorties"? I'm taller than you.
we can chill... treat them better, and end up with all the girls.
I still can't tell if you are trying (and failing) to be funny...or if you are being serious. What evidence to you have that taller men treat women better? I would suspect that any category of men who could attract women easier would actually treat them worse (as a group) because any woman could be easily replaced.

Posted: 10/24/2007 10:03:26 PM | Bruce lee was 5'7" and totally stomped Chuck Norris in "Return of the Dragon" heh. Plus whether 6'11" or 5'0" we all die the same from 12 gauge round to the chest. This whole security, neanderthal crap, is pretty silly imho. I'd personally stay miles away from a woman who creates the type of drama where she'd need a jacked body guard. Haha, all extreme cases and tongue in cheek though.
I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm 5'6" and wouldn't trade it for anything. Hyper metabolism, lithe, fit, and perfect...like a ninja lmao. Those chicks lookin for a tall angular man, well have fun and good luck. I certainly won't miss you and won't miss a step gettin mine. : ) | |

You pretend....I mean PROFESS to be so intelligent, but if you re-read my original comment I did not say that I do not consider any man who did not meet some arbitrary height requirement. Apparently, you are so full of yourself and your dime-store psychology that you simply ignore the facts. I said I PREFER to date taller men, not that I have some "height requirement" I find you so idiotic. Your attempts at trying to sound intelligent have left me bored to TEARS! I cannot help your interpretation of what I have said....why don't you pay attention? Read....oh, and maybe you should tell your friend who is Ghost-Writing for you that he should re-read what I said too. Since you are going there, my interpretation of your comments are as follows...a woman like me would not give you the time of day except in this forum...so,you make abrasive comments to get me to respond. Well,you did, but that was it. You are not worth the time it takes to keep responding to your idiocy. Have a great day. Respond away...I'm out! | |

LOL! Too funny! I am glad you can change a lot of things about yourself....that is a relief! By the way, I did not attack Silent Man,he attacked me.
I am happy you are through with me. I need some intelligent conversation. I guess spell check does not work here,huh, Zain? | |

Typical tactic of someone who can't defend their position; they do a 180 on it, attempt to obfuscate it, and just in case that's seen through, they cast accusations, then they retreat, making it appear as though they're taking the moral high ground when in reality they're just running away because they lost and don't want others to see it.
Volumes more might (might) have been spoken if you'd just left it alone, but the fact that you had to take the time to make sure everyone knew "you're out" instead removes any shred of credibility you might have managed to salvage.
What you've previously written stands on its own, and what you've contradictorally written in its wake to try to save face speaks volume about your character (or lack thereof). What a lonely life yours must be, sitting in the dark alone with only the glow of your computer monitor to keep you company. I can't fathom how someone as shrewish as you could conceivably manage to maintain anything remotely resembling a normal social life with intelligent, adult individuals who, if they're going to stand on a hill and defend it, can at least do so intelligently and logically, instead of retreating to hyperemotionalism in the hopes that it'll intimidate enough to get your more sensible competition to back down. | |

Okay.... and I'm a troll....right 
JD said it best, anyone else has the right to be offended...but a short guy should always be the "good sport"
gimme a break.
I have more respect for a woman who simply tells it like it is.
"I want a taller man because I don't find shorter men attractive I know it's shallow"
I can't control what other women find attractive but atleast she acknowledges that she is shallow and is willing to atleast take some responsibility.
as oppose to:
"I want a taller man not because I'm shallow but because a taller guy keeps me safe shorter guys also have nepoleon complexes Also I don't know what my friends would think and shorter guys are weaker and I don't want my kids to be short and stupid irrational excuse after another I could go on and on and on. | |

Posted: 10/24/2007 11:50:53 PM | | Sorry that isn't always a fact.. Some women don't like tall men... I'm tall, very tall, and hate tall men... Lots of others do too, hell look at hollywood... Uma Thurman, she loves short men lol! I don't know why it matters... And everyone thinks that ALL women want tall men, not true, if that was true then wouldn't all short men be gay? | |

1. Dude... I already explained to you that I misrepresented my height on the profile. Sorry, I'm over 6 foot... That makes you a shorty in a relative sense.
2. While I am not a girl, nor would I ever be so presumptuous as to imagine that I know what they are thinking... all I can tell you, all bad joking aside, is that I have had a girl lay by my side with her head on my shoulder, and tell me that she loves the way she feels with me, the safety, and security... She also said, No more short men for her... and that she was ruined for life, ( But that was a different thing... ).
3. This kinda confirms what the nice nurse is saying. Nice nurse... I understand. | |

Look... I'm not here to pick on short people. Hell... they already get the short end of the stick in most other places. I like short people.. they are great at painting the trim around the floor, removing wallpaper below 3', and washing the low windows.
I respect them for that.
I even think that real men of genius should salute them...
But WTF.. it is what it is.

Those are strong words coming from a guy who doesn't even have a photo on his profile and hardly anything written in it. So you grew 2 inches in the last couple of hours? that really is amazing. I have a girl laying with her head on my shoulder to. I can also walk on water and turn it into wine  | |

Nice Nurse... I understand. I know. I am there.
You probably like dancing with taller men too... for the same reasons.
PS Zain... My profile is so good that I hid it to keep it from being hijacked by short people. | |

I don't think there is reason to resort to name calling.
Zain...
I'm taken.... I'm with a hot chick.
I'm only here to harass short people tonight.
I don't think that 5'10" or even 6' for that matter makes you tall enough to call anyone short. Also, if you are with a hot chick, why are online when you could be spending time with your honey? | |
